Mandate Is Illegal.

Mandate Is Illegal.
CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-No one worked harder
than Capt Black to save the Anarchists. He
left for Springfield late last night to see the
governor and again intercede for the con-
iemned men. Capt, Black said he had posi-
tive knowledge that the Haymarket bomb
was not thrown by Schnaubelt, and that he
could during the trial have produced Schnau-
belt in court, but was too much afraid of the
rulings Judge Gary was making
Capt. Black wired Schilling TO remain in
Springfield, as he (Black) would arrive in the
morning at $50 to appear before the COVER
nor and urge stay in THO execution OF Par
sons, on the ground that the latter isinsane,
and has been for many months, and is not re-
sponsible for his acts, He will also make a
plea for Spies, and in fact for all the CON
demned men. The trip is taken on the
strength Of telegram received by Capt.
Black from N. p. Wagener, OF New York.
Capt, Black says that If the governor would
grant a reprieve for fifty days he though,
they could produce the bomb thrower.
Attorneys Black and Solomon sent the fol

GERS who were stationed at the intersections
of the cross streets were fastened upon them.
As the vehicle crossed the bridge the hoarse
sound Of the police gongs were heard close

wagons, filled with police officers armed with

had been reached another Gordon Of police
had blocked the way. Credentials were
called for and examined a second time and

slowly up and down, stopping ever and anon
to peer through the four barred doors and
see that all was right. 1t was welcome
